I listened to the first two hours of the show this week, but can't get the third hour to play. In fact none of the three will play at the moment -- might be a glitch on the website.
ReplyDeleteThanks for fixing that problem.
DeleteYessir. We've been doing some technical updates to the page and the play fields that have produced some hiccups. We should be on all fours now. Thanks!
